"Gorillas are among the most recognizable of the large charismatic mammals, but climate change and poaching has brought them to the brink of extinction. Greg Cummings was the executive director of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund for seventeen years. He shares his fascinating experiences as a 'wildlife Robin Hood' -- raising money from the rich and famous and redistributing it to endangered gorillas and their habitats. He met and enlisted the help of celebrities such as Sigourney Weaver, Arthur C. Clark, Douglas Adams, and Leonardo DiCaprio. This thirty-year worldwide journey moves from boardrooms in Manhattan and London to mountain treks in Rwanda and Congo, [including during the Rwandan Civil War]. 'Gorilla Tactics' is sure to enchant readers with Greg's unique experiences, while sharing insight into the work it takes to save a species from extinction."--Barnes&Noble.
